More IT shops are facing hard choices. To get value from their investment in SANs, they need to optimize it for maximum capacity. To keep end users productive with SQL Server, they need predictable, stable performance in a highly available environment. Which do they choose? Do they incur the high cost of faster SAN performance or run SQL Server without the high availability protection of a SAN-based cluster? These are some of the questions Geoff will answer during this interactive webinar.

Microsoft MVP Geoff Hiten is a SQL Server consultant. Geoff began working with SQL Server in 1992 with version 4.2 and has used every version since then. He specializes in high-availability and high-performance SQL systems. Geoff is heavily involved in the Microsoft SQL Server Community and was initially awarded MVP status in 2004. Geoff currently works with the Atlanta MDF and SQL Saturday Atlanta organizing committee.
